What is the Apache APISIX MCP Server?

Connect your Apache APISIX instance to any AI agent to orchestrate high-performance traffic management through natural language.

What you can do

Route Orchestration — List, inspect, create, or delete routes to match client requests and forward them to target upstreams.
Service Abstraction — Manage service entities that group common plugins and upstream configurations for easier API maintenance.
Upstream Management — Configure virtual host abstractions for load balancing, including node management and health checks.
Consumer Control — List and manage API consumers to handle authentication and per-user rate limiting.
Configuration as Conversation — Update complex JSON configurations for any gateway resource without manually using CURL or the Dashboard.

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Provide your APISIX Admin URL and Admin Key (X-API-KEY)
Start managing your microservices infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

DevOps Engineers — quickly audit routing rules and upstream health directly from the terminal or chat.
Backend Developers — create and test new API routes and service abstractions without leaving the IDE.
SRE Teams — troubleshoot traffic flow and consumer access issues using natural language queries.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I update a route's configuration directly through the AI?

Yes. Use the put_route tool by providing the Route ID and the new configuration JSON. The agent will interface with the APISIX Admin API to apply the changes immediately.

How do I list all the backend upstreams configured in my gateway?

Simply ask the agent to 'list upstreams'. It will trigger the list_upstreams tool and return a detailed list of all virtual hosts and load balancer nodes.

Is it possible to delete a service that is no longer needed?

Yes, you can use the delete_service tool. Provide the specific Service ID, and the agent will remove the resource from your APISIX configuration.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
